The year was 1981. The artist was Rick Springfield. The song, wasJessie's Girl.

See how this classic song exposes an age old truth...

"Jessie is a friend,Yeah, I know he's been a good friend of mineBut lately something's changedIt ain't hard to defineJessie's got himself a girl and I want to make her mine (reptilian brain)

And she's watching him with those eyes (high interest level) And she's lovin' him with that body, I just know it! (high interest level)And he's holding her in his arms late, late at night (high interest level)

You know I wish that I had Jessie's girl (reptilian brain)I wish that I had Jessie's girlWhere can I find a woman like that? (all over...)

I play along with the charadeThat doesn't seem to be a reason to changeYou know I feel so dirty when they start talking cuteI wanna tell her that I love her but the point is probably moot (It is...)

​And I'm lookin' in the mirror all the timeWonderin' what she don't see in me (interest)I've been funny; I've been cool with the linesAin't that the way love's supposed to be?

​(not when she's interested in someone else!)

Tell me, why can't I find a woman like that?

1. Don't chase women that aren't available. It's a waste of time when you could be hanging out with someone who's actually interested in and emotionally available.
2. Women can only be truly intrested in one man at a time.

Could she cheat on him with you? Sure, it happens occasionally. Will you end up together? Probably not. Will you waste a lot of time and energy longing for a girl that’s not truly available, when you could be with someone who is truly available and interested in you? Yes, it happens all the time.
